Meccano, Dinky Toys, Beaver Radio, computer tape drives and print-outs .... it's like my whole past life flashed before me in 18 minutes. Very evocative of the 1960s/70s optimism, but it's another story as to how much came about and what eventually happened.

[@kimoe188]

Along its journey to today somehow liverpool lost its way. I was born in Liverpool and in the 60's there was optimism and hope but in the 70's it all went sour, it is taking a long time to recover.

I am a Londoner. A child of the sixties...The Beatles.. Made me proud of Liverpool...those boys put their beloved city on world map....60 years on and their genius lives on.

Very good. The wonderful lucid voice of Raymond Baxter

Great film. The ariel flight is good especially as it flies over my Mum and Dads house in the Old Roan and my old school Aintree Davenhill.

[@johnlambert5732]

I went to that school as well

Read ‘Secret Liverpool’ by Mike Keating. You will enjoy this view of the city.

Great documentary of history of Liverpool and it's people. Very interesting. Thank you.

[@alank2296]

A great archive film, thanks WR for posting, Liverpool in its former and planned future highs which is now way past what the film was depicting ....

[@free..to..air..]

The promised land for the sixties...which ..like a lot of projects back then...never materialised

[@strafrag1]

Excellent 60s film. Yank here and I've been watching the UK series Moving On (Britbox) which is filmed in Liverpool and area. Great series and I have noticed there is a lot of new housing there. When did this building boom begin there? Thanks.

Speke in the 1940’s, Halewood Ford factory in the 1950s.

All Gone we know who help to put the knife in our back. A woman who wanted to close the City just 20's years later.

Let’s get the work back to Liverpool again, and more factors in Liverpool , not Warrington out the way

Then Thatcher came along ruining the lot.

[@zakmarsden5997]

Thats garbage!! Mad Derek Hatton and his Trotskyist Communists did that, Every City in Britian was affected by the decline of the old industries, Liverpool did not have a lot of industry inside the City Its easy to say "Thatcher" did this that and the next thing and from some its because of sectarianism that Thatcher gets the blame,!!With trade across the Atlantic disappearing and the containerisation of the ships led to a decline in the docks.Glasgow Birmingham Sheffield London the decline of the old industries affected most cities in the UK.

@@johnburns4017 The Sun is one fucking rag of a so called newspaper I wouldnt wipe my arse with it never mind buy it or read it,! The Daily mail is a decent paper, And you are Part of "the Irish2 half of Merseyside I take it? Everything I posted was spot on, Hatton was an stillis a bad mad useless cnut of a man that brought Liverpool down,The whole country hated him and still do,

Triumph’s Speke 2, Dunlop along with the north docks sacking 10000s where all closed under Jim Callaghan’s Labour government. Wilson’s labour government did the worst damage to Liverpool by funding Felixstowe container ports expansion into the European market making Felixstowe the U.Ks largest port terminal. Don’t let facts get in the way of your voting labour voting tho, even though Labours regional headquarters are in Manchester 😂
